Refueling infrastructure is an essential part of the propane engine fuel market. Both the successful establishment of fuel corridors and the development of propane refueling stations enable propane to be fully accessible to consumers as an available engine fuel.
Fueling infrastructure research investigates and establishes propane fuel corridors, develops technology, and builds refueling stations for vehicles that burn propane fuel.
Projects
GM 6.0L LPG Engine Emissions Certification and Durability Development (Docket 12413)
